22 Journal of Classical Sociology 00(0) 2. In this draft, Morrow reports of a second visit to San Quentin 16 months after his interviews (Morrow, n.d.: 20). The draft therefore cannot have been written before mid-1947. Since it is unfinished, it was most likely written before the study went to press in 1949. 3. Questionnaires were sent to San Quentin in September 1945 and distributed in October 1945 (Administering of Questionnaires, October 1, 1945, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, New York [henceforth YIVO], American Jewish Committee Archives [henceforth AJC Archive], RG 347.17.10 GEN-10, Box 19, Folder 5). In this article, archive materials are cited in foot- notes, personally signed manuscripts are referenced in the bibliography. 4. Editorial Analysis of the Berkeley Adult Study, n.d., YIVO, AJC-Archive, RG 347.17.10 GEN-10, Box 18, Folder 5. However, the authors seem to have ignored all of the review’s recommendations, including the title suggestions ‘Inside Your Prejudices’, ‘Why He Hates’, and ‘Weak and Dangerous’ (Ziege, 2019: 137f.). 5. David G. Schmidt, head of the psychiatric department (see below), mentions 514 ‘psychotics’ for May 26, 1947, of whom 10.1% had syphilis (cf. Schmidt, 1948: 45f.). Since the quota of syphilitics among all prisoners is said to be 2.5%, the total number of prisoners must have been at least 2000. The sample of 110 respondents therefore represents about 5% of all detainees. 6. As Morrow himself admitted, the authors did not succeed in their attempted detachment from prison authority: ‘The interviewees did not come voluntarily to be interviewed, but were summoned by the psychiatric department. The examiner tried as best he could to dissociate himself from prison authority’ (Adorno et al., 1950: 819) – the qualifier ‘with some degree of success’ in the draft (Morrow, n.d.: 5) once more having been deleted in the final publication. 7. The exiled Austrian ‘lay’ analyst Theodor Reik had been secretary of the Wiener Psychoanalytische Vereinigung. As a non-medical doctor carrying out analysis, he had been reported to the police for ‘quackery’. Freud defended him in his 1926 essay The Question of Lay Analysis. 8. Use of the Questionnaire, September 28, 1945 (YIVO, AJC-Archive, RG 347.17.10 GEN-10, Box 19, Folder 5).
